Good. Love the pretty dresses and tradition of monarchy, but only when living up to its Christian vows of honor.

America waged a revolution over this stuff!

Ping!

Yes. Or at least I read that over a decade ago. I don’t know if they came back.

okay maybe I’ve been confused this whole time. I remember there being a sort of minty ice cream patty back in the day…something else perhaps.

Two questions:

1. Will King Charles put the title up for sale?
2. If so, can I pay on an installment plan?

Because to be honest, I always wanted to be a duke. Or an earl.
Even since I heard this song.

York is my favorite English city, I could spend all day at the train museum there.

Some history too there we don’t know much about I’m guessing. King Charles is turning the blade, I also believe he threw Andrew out of his original ‘royal’ residence awhile back. Not that Andrew deserves much sympathy.

Makes me wonder about Andrew if ‘mommy always liked him best’

Is Gene Chandler still Duke of Earl? I seem to have misplaced my copy of Burke's Peerage.
